This was a simplistic way of stating how to use weight (converted to mass) in the handicapping of horseracing without going into ODE of calculus and the rigors of applied physics.

So you use the before-race weight as reported as measured on a scale, then estimate the post-race using your formula, and then use the differential to assess the horse in his next race?
